Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

A triangular shaped stack of tin cans has 8 cans in the first row and 8 rows in all.

In each successive row one can is removed.

i.e. in first row there are 8 cans

in second row there are 7 cans

in third row there are 6 cans

...

The explicit formula which tells about the number of cans in row n is:

an=9-n

(Since a1=8 is satisfied only by this formula)

Number of cans in fifth row are:

a5=9-5=4

Hence, number of cans in fifth row equals:

4

The rule is that one can will be removed each row, so in the fifth row there will be 3 fans.
